Dave Bird has not understood my response  :-(

Charles Lindsey has a problem with his "Content-MD5:" MIME header. This
has absolutely NOTHING to do with PGP, but is a long-standing problem
relating to the way in which his software deals with the checksumming of
trailing carriage returns. We have corresponded in the past on this.

On a different matter, several people have told me that an message I
posted yesterday failed a PGP signature check. I am still trying to
understand why this was.

In the unlikely event that either of these occurrences are of general
interest then I will post again on the subject. But this is not (the
list owner has already made clear) the forum for discussing the
practical day to day problems of those of us who are producing MIME and
PGP enabled software and trying to get this to interwork reliably with
everyone else's products.
